    just found this thread ..

    got a couple of these .. both '83 models in silver.

    one's been in the family from new, has done 17,ooo miles and is mint apart from a blown head-gasket or two ..

    the other is a runner (well, was till i took the engine out) but has the usual alfa rot.

    fantastic cars.

    hmm, with the 308gt4, porsche 924, porsche 944 and the alfa's all sharing garage space i guess ive got something of a 2+2 fetish ?

    Sure looks like a Maratona edition, but I thought the rims were of a different design. It's been some time since I've seen one.

    That's a Maratona Edition, alright.

    The wheels are much newer; I had two sets before that I imported from Europe. One set came off a 1996 Spider V6, and the other came off a 1994 Alfa 164 Super.

    Maratonas had black leather interiors. This one looks like it has a tan interior.

    2 more vintage racing photos I found. These are for personal use only and are taken by the photographer named on the pictures. They are from the Spa 24 Heures 1984 FIA touring car race. The Luigi team won their class, leading them to 1st in the FIA manufactures championship in 1984. As I said before, the GTV6 has as good a racing history as the famed GTA/GTAm.

    Hi all!
    I'm from Italy and post you my favourite toy for trackdays...
    Built in 1983, totally restored some years ago. Some visible mods: 8.25x15 OZ racing wheels with Yoko A032R, lowered.
    Currently undergoing general surgery with "heart-transplant" - 164 3.0 12v unit, modified - bigger breaks, 16" compomotive rims, stiffer suspensions, mods on various bodyparts.
    Time will tell... ;-)

    Regards,
    Fabio

    Very nice GTV6. You might also want to post it on this thread I started at alfabb. They also like GTV6's:)

    Thanks Tommy,
    How couldn't I post my jewels also to Alfabb? ;-)

    Ferraripete,
    Don't worry, I'm not going to sell my 15" wheels.. My intention is to use them for trackdays, while for "normal" driving :D I'll use 16"s with street tires - not as noisy as semi-slicks and suitable for sudden rainstorms!

    Regards,
    Fabio

    Sorry guys, I was forgetting to tell you an important thing... I'm not only an Alfista, but also a FERRARISTA!
    That's why I visited FerrariChat. Well, I can't afford Ferraris yet, but always dreamt and loved them.
    After all, Alfa and Ferrari go together: how can a mother not love her daughter? ;-)

    Forza Ferrari forever!!!

    You're right, it's not an Alfa part. A friend of mine made it, in fibreglass.
    To say the truth, I'm going to have it reduced, 'cause it's a bit too excessive for my taste.
    Though at high speed I've noticed it helps a lot car's precision.
    Ciao

    What a fun car to drive! I wish I knew what I had when I was 16. I still miss this car. Just an all round fun car.

    I enjoy one of those. They are a blast at the track. Although - my left rear tire has more air pressure.
